The original "ensemble drama," this is the story of an overworked, under-staffed police precinct in an anonymous inner city patterned after Chicago. We follow the lives of many characters, from the lowly beat and traffic cops to the captain of the precinct himself. This is the show that blazed the trail followed later by such notable ensemble dramas as "St. Elsewhere" and "L.A. Law." Jon played the part of the Chief of Police Fletcher Daniels who was more of a pain in the backside of Captain Frank Furrillo than Daniel's piles were in season's two's "The Spy Who Came In From Delgado".
